I\u2019m Josh Cooperman and this is Convo By Design with a special series of episodes designed to help you manage this coronavirus disaster by providing you with actionable ideas and tips to run your home more efficiently. We ALL have more going on at home now. You are not alone, as a matter of fact, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve all been in more similar circumstances. While the stories of conference call disasters provide a little levity, I realized that our homes and resources are being taxed like never before. Our homes were not designed for this unless you\u2019re a \u201cprepper.\u201d I am talking with some of the best and brightest in design and architecture to get their strategies for making space more efficient.

\nEstablish an organizational plan including times for foodservice and weekly meal plans
\nGo through all your resources and remove what you are not using right now
\nFreshen up your space, inspiration is in short supply, don\u2019t run out
\nWhat can you repurpose to make your entertaining spaces more functional
\nBring the outside in with garden cut flowers OR branches if you don\u2019t have flowers
\nEDIT - Sometimes it\u2019s not what you have but what you remove that makes the space function more efficiently
\nPlace heavier items closer to where they will be used (simple idea\u2026I know)
\nLook at what is lacking in your space right now. Solve what you can and plan to correct in better times
